Cybersecurity Compliance Services India | DPDP, CERT-In, RBI, SEBI, ISO, PCI
Complete cybersecurity compliance services for Indian enterprises. ISO 27001, DPDP Act, CERT-In, RBI, SEBI, PCI DSS, SOC 2 implementation and audit support. P.J. Networks — trusted compliance partner since 2002.
Cybersecurity compliance is not a burden — it is a business enabler. Organisations with strong compliance programmes experience fewer security incidents, respond faster when incidents do occur, and build greater trust with customers, partners, and regulators. In India’s rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, compliance is no longer optional — it is a legal and business imperative.
The Indian cybersecurity regulatory landscape has transformed dramatically in recent years. The DPDP Act 2023 establishes India’s first comprehensive data protection framework. CERT-IN’s cybersecurity directions mandate incident reporting and security practices for all organisations. RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, and sector-specific regulators continue to tighten cybersecurity requirements. Non-compliance carries significant penalties — DPDP Act fines up to ₹250 crore, RBI penalties, and reputational damage that far exceeds any financial penalty.
At P.J. Networks, we have been helping Indian enterprises achieve and maintain cybersecurity compliance for over 30 years. We have guided 100+ organisations through compliance with ISO 27001, RBI Cyber Resilience, PCI DSS, SEBI Cybersecurity Framework, SOC 2, and DPDP Act. Our team includes certified Lead Auditors (ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2), risk management professionals (CRISC, CISA), and compliance specialists who understand both the technical and procedural requirements of each framework.
Our approach to compliance is practical and business-focused. We don’t create compliance in a silo — we integrate compliance requirements into your existing security operations, ensuring that compliance activities deliver genuine security improvements, not just audit evidence. Every policy, control, and process we implement serves both compliance and security purposes.
We believe compliance should be continuous, not point-in-time. Our compliance monitoring services ensure you never face a surprise during an audit. Through automated evidence collection, quarterly compliance reviews, and proactive regulatory monitoring, we keep your compliance posture strong between audits.
Whether you are pursuing your first ISO 27001 certification, need to achieve RBI compliance for your NBFC, or want to ensure your organisation is DPDP Act ready, P.J. Networks delivers the expertise, methodology, and commitment to make your compliance journey successful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Start with the framework that applies to your industry (RBI for BFSI, SEBI for capital markets, DPDP Act for all Indian organisations handling personal data) and the one that builds the best foundation (ISO 27001 as the overarching ISMS framework). Many organisations start with ISO 27001 as it provides a comprehensive management system that can be extended to meet sector-specific requirements.
For a well-prepared organisation, ISO 27001:2022 certification typically takes 4-8 months from project initiation to certification audit. This includes gap analysis (2-3 weeks), risk assessment and SoA (3-4 weeks), policy development (4-6 weeks), control implementation (6-12 weeks), internal audit (2 weeks), and management review (1 week).
DPDP Act compliance requires: data mapping and inventory of all personal data processed, documented consent management processes, data protection impact assessments (DPIA) for high-risk processing, breach notification procedures (reporting to Data Protection Board within 72 hours), Data Protection Officer appointment, data subject rights request handling, data retention and erasure policies, and cross-border data transfer compliance with specified across India.
RBI’s Master Direction on Cyber Resilience requires NBFCs to implement: board-approved cybersecurity policy, CISO appointment (not IT head), security operations centre (in-house or outsourced), VAPT of critical systems (annual), BCP/DR testing (bi-annual), cyber incident reporting (within 6 hours), log retention (6 months), and board-level reporting on cybersecurity. We help NBFCs implement all these requirements.
Yes. Our compliance maintenance services include: quarterly compliance reviews, control effectiveness testing, evidence collection for audits, internal audit management, surveillance audit support, regulatory update monitoring, policy review and updates, incident response compliance support, and advisory on emerging regulations.
If non-conformities are identified during certification audit, you are typically given 90 days to close them. Our team provides immediate remediation support, root cause analysis, corrective action planning, and re-audit preparation. We maintain a 100% certification success rate by ensuring your organisation is genuinely ready before the audit begins.
Navigating India’s Complex Compliance Landscape
Cybersecurity compliance in India has never been more demanding. The convergence of multiple regulatory frameworks creates a complex compliance landscape that Indian enterprises must navigate carefully. The DPDP Act 2023 introduces comprehensive data protection requirements for all organisations processing personal data of Indian residents. CERT-In’s cybersecurity directions mandate incident reporting, KYC of system administrators, log retention, and security practices for all organisations. RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, and sector-specific regulators continuously tighten their cybersecurity requirements.
Each regulatory framework has different scope, requirements, reporting obligations, and enforcement mechanisms. An NBFC that processes customer data must comply with DPDP Act (data protection), RBI Master Direction (cyber resilience), and potentially PCI DSS (card payments). A stockbroker must comply with DPDP Act, SEBI Cybersecurity Framework, and Exchange-mandated security requirements. A hospital must comply with DPDP Act, MeitY guidelines for health data, and IT Act provisions. Navigating this multi-framework compliance environment requires deep expertise across multiple regulatory regimes.
The cost of non-compliance in India is escalating rapidly. DPDP Act penalties can reach ₹250 crore for significant data breaches. RBI has imposed penalties on multiple banks and NBFCs for cybersecurity compliance failures. CERT-In can direct internet service providers to block access to non-compliant services. Beyond regulatory penalties, non-compliance damages customer trust, investor confidence, and brand reputation — costs that far exceed any regulatory fine.
A well-designed compliance programme is an investment, not a cost. Organisations with mature compliance programmes experience fewer security incidents, respond faster to those that do occur, and build stronger relationships with customers and regulators. Our compliance services are designed to deliver genuine security improvement alongside compliance achievement.
